	Yup. Thjere's soo much to 'break' in the GUI. The other problem is,
when you go back to do something else with the GUI, you don't know what
stuff that you've done is gonna break.

	One of the first things I did when I got a RaQ was abandon the Cobalt
GUI and start developing my own for use by me and my co-workers (who
aren't too savvy with the operation of apache). This means that I can do
things without fear of breaking other things. Also, when the news broke
about the hole(s?) in the Cobalt UI, Iwas able to completely disable the
thing without any problems.

	The only probs that I've noticed are that the monitoring tools use the
data from the GUI to work. You will notice this as soon as you change
quotas for instance.
